Niagara on the lake Fall edition

Remember way back in June when my parents and I went to Niagara on the Lake to see The Cherry Orchard for the Shaw Festival?  Last weekend we went back to see An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde. The play was very funny, with lovely costumes and British accents galore! This time, the weather was quite different, it being super cold! Of course, I snapped some photos, sans digital camera and instead with my D90!


We parked right by a cemetery.. speaking of parking, I still need to get my G1. Lazy Polina is lazy.

 Remember this dress? Well, here's how I spruced it up to make way for the chilly Autumn temps..

No, I did not place my camera on a tombstone and proceed to turn on the timer to take this shot..................

 How cute are the dangling lights?!

 Inside the gift shop, loving the lighting..

 Cutest necklaces ever. Musical notes, monkeys and check out that dog! aww!

 Inside a wine tasting store.

 Oh how punny!

 <3 Canada, eh? :)

 Me, dad, stepmum.. 
(outfit details - 
dress- cotton on
bag, white lace hair pin - forever 21
leather jacket - h&m
leggings - jay jays
boots - nine west (of course!)

 Cutest umbrellas of life. Wanted to get one badly!

 The sunset on the way home was so beautiful, but impossible to get a good photo of in a moving car. But, I tried..

 I like these!

Back to catching up on tv shows I missed this week due to procrastination of my study and homework which meant late nights. Gah, so tired.

the sky

Last week we had some really pretty sunsets, and I couldn't resist taking several (hundred) photos of it on each individual day. Turned out liking the pictures, so I figured the world of blogspot would (might!) be interested. It's a 4 day long weekend over here now due to Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday. My family and I are going to Niagara Falls for a couple of days and doing family-type activities. Tonight my friends and I are seeing "Easy A" and then I'm staying over at my mates, so that should be nice. Have a good weekend everyone!

peacock necklace

new necklace from forever 21 - wore this the other day and got lots of compliments. i love the peacock inspired colours and design!

i know how it feels to be your age

This is my friend's grandmother's camera from like 50 years ago! I thought it was super cute and had to take a picture of it. That's me in the background haha. I love how our the colours (unintentionally) coordinated. 

Tomorrow is my 17th birthday - April 30th. I'll probably just spend the afternoon with friends and then go home and hang out with my family because on Saturday I'm planning on going to Toronto with my friends for a certain special occasion..

This is a picture of one of the parking lots at my school - I really like this picture. The plant life makes my school actually look nice! ;)

I took this picture yesterday, although it's nothing all that special, I love the contrast of the different colours in the picture, and how everyone is busy doing different things, wrapped up in their own thoughts. Well, that's what I got out of it. Maybe I'm just searching for meaning which isn't there :)

I really like this last picture - it's of my brother and I last Christmas. Can you believe that was over 4 months ago? I can't...

Anyway, have a great weekend all. My weekend has started early! I didn't get any homework today ;) The life of a teenager is too easy sometimes..

Bye bye!

burning hot but you don't feel the pain

currently:

Sunshine and warmth!

The sun disappeared over the weekend and as a replacement, we have rain. my window was left open in my bedroom over night and i rose to a cold atmosphere and the sound of rain. it was a bit chilly and depressing. so much for the lovely warm/borderline hot few days we had last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Future decisions!

Generally i'm not one to contemplate my future but lately i have been pondering things and possibly come to a conclusion that i just regret something. funny that the regret would come 3 months later which is why i'm not too sure if my feelings are true. i don't really know and that probably didn't make much sense... moving on though, i'm thinking about taking a Gap year when i finish high school, to go back to Australia, possibly get a job over there and finally decide in which hemisphere i will attend University. but, this decision won't be made for at least another year so i guess i shouldn't be too concerned about it right now.

Professional camera!

I've decided that i do indeed want a really good camera. after doing some research for good yet not too expensive cameras online, i've found my baby; Nikon D5000. it looks amazing! sadly, it's just under $800 for the body and a lens. judging by my pocket money, it would take me 3 months to get this master piece.. if i didn't buy ANYTHING, or call or text anyone. sadly, i am not that determined to get the camera (lol) so i'm contemplating a part time job...even though i hate working! seriously. i worked for about 2 years in Australia, having two different jobs and i was not a fan. the job itself wasn't too bad, it was the responsibility..and giving up my social life on some nights. that hurt. plus i enjoy freedom to do whatever i want. but if i truly wanted this baby i guess it'd be worth it. need to think more about it i guess. i need to find some way to make money without working! ideas, anyone? ;)

HERE ARE SOME NICE PICTURES WHICH I ENJOY

..I think we should all pay attention to the last image ;)
